I don't know what set that biggest bear off, unless the smaller bear simply got too close, into the bigger bears personal space. Those are a couple of awesome looking brown bears though.

That video is from place, where they put food to lure bears to be filmed. There are two males, which have fought before too and now in that video. Might be that a bit younger bears challenges older one time to time to see, when he can be the one eating first. I don´t know which one is which, but I´ve seen some discussion concerning these two. Last year another one got his nose bloodied, when they fought. Same fight is in postings #381, #382 and #384 Edit and add: Oh sorry, not the same. This was that one from 2019 in which other one got nose bloodied. Well, in postings #381, #382 and #384 same bears fight again.

Rescued brown bear cub Aina (female cub) and first snow, which she enjoys with Sulo Karjalainen. Place is at Kuusamo, Finland. And yes, Sulo takes often bear or bears with him to walk in the woods etc. They aren´t always just in their enclosures.

Older video of Sulo Karjalainen and bears, but with English subtitles, worth to watch for having a glimpse how he handle bears. Pity that so short. But as you can see, he is very calm and patient man and treats bears like they would be his own children, family members. Naturally with a lot of knowledge too, this man has spent his whole life in the middle of wildlife and big forests. So while he treats bears well, he also respects them as wild animals and makes all he can to give a good life to those orphan bears, which would have died if not rescued by people.

Ussuri brown bear and Amur tiger ( both males ) mark the same tree. This is not unusual. The tigers happens to walk away in the same direction as did the bear. No, this does not mean that the tiger is following the bear. The last thing this tiger would wish for is to blunder into close proximity of the bear.

The following size comparison between a Syrian brown bear and a male leopard should give you an idea of how big Persian males can get in Northern Iran: *Note that the Syrian brown bear rivals the Himalayan brown bear as the world's smallest brown bear subspecies - normally within the 200-pound range.

Here, the Syrian brown bear is listed as being smaller than the giant panda or the Andean bear:

brobear, I made that size comparison and from what I can tell it's a large Persian male leopard. I don't know the sex of the bear however but am almost certainly that it's an adult. However, I'm not sure if Syrian brown bears are THAT small? Aren't they bigger than the Iberian or Marsican brown bear? I have yet to see any data but I've read somewhere that Syrian brown bears can weigh up to 250kg.

I have yet to see any data but I've read somewhere that Syrian brown bears can weigh up to 250kg. Finding good information on some of these rare and elusive brown bear subspecies is a real challenge. I have read, from varying sources, that ( 1 ) the Marsican brown bear is the smallest subspecies ( though now it has been meshed-in as Ursus arctos arctos ), ( 2 ) the Himalayan brown bear is the smallest, ( 3 ) the Tibetan brown bear is the smallest. and ( 4 ) the Syrian brown bear is the smallest. ( IMO ) All four of these along with the Gobi bear are likely within the same normal size-range. If any biologist has conducted any measurements and weigh-ins, I have as yet found no data.

Habitat the syrian brown bear hibernates in caves and hollow trees found in mountainous areas. Historically, the Syrian brown bear could be found in Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, northwestern Pakistan, and parts of the former Soviet Union. However, their number continues to decline and fragment because of habitat loss and poaching. They can no longer be found in Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, nor Syria. CHARACTERISTICS The Syrian brown bear weighs up to 550 pounds and measures anywhere from 40 to 55 inches from nose to tail. It is overall the smallest bear of the Ursus arctos species. The most common color is a very light greyish brown. The lighter colors usually appear at higher altitudes. They may have a dark brown patch on atop their heads, a white collar, and a dark stripe down the back. Their legs are commonly darker than the rest of their body. It is the only known bear in the world to have white claws. There are some bears farther to the north that are believed to be a cross between Eurasian brown bears and Syrian brown bears. They are larger in size than the Syrain brown bears and have reddish brown fur. Syrian Brown Bear DIET Syrian brown bears are omnivorous creatures. They search for food in forests, grasslands, and meadows. They will eat almost any kind of food that is available to them such as meat, grass, nuts, and fruits. If they become hungery enough, they have been known to visit mountain villages. In search of food, they will attack livestock BREEDING Birth takes place during hibernation during the winter. Cubs are very small at birth, but grow quickly. STATUS The population of the Syrian brown bear continues to decline. It is already extinct in Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Syria, due to habitat loss and poaching. It may be close to extinction in the wild. www.bearsoftheworld.net/syrian_brown_bear.aspHere the Syrian brown bear is said to be "the smallest bear of the Ursus arctos species" but then goes on to claim a weight of 550 pounds. Unfortunately, I have learned that these weights given are often generic weights used for brown bears in general when the authors are unable to locate actual weights. So, their true size is left a mystery ( at least to us ). I suspect that very little field work is done is this location due to politics and the world situations.

Bear shocks pedestrians in Iraq. Video shows a Syrian brown bear lumbering the streets of the Iraqi city Basra. The incident caused a chaotic scene among pedestrians. The bear had escaped an animal shop but could later be recaptured and returned. The species is now considered almost extinct.

Rare Tibetan Brown Bear ( about one-minute film ). Notice the narrator says "these huge mammals...", proving my point that every bear is described as being a "huge bear".
